soleil wavers,  he'd never expect for the other to read him so callously╴ intrepid this one is.  he visibly maintains the composure.  albeit,  perturbed as lips unturned.  ⠀ʺdesires.ʺ  ⠀he answers.  ⠀ʺsurely i needn't repeat myself.  must i continue to pry the answer from you,  or do you simply delight in it?ʺ  ⠀a penetrative look is directed.

 *  yrue.. this was needed Very much so

@holylies  ›  and what do you define as value, your grace?   [noctis inquires, although his motive to do so remains vague as his gloved index draws a familiar circle on the cover of the book seated on the table in front of him. a delicate, but seemingly forced smile finally chooses to stretch across his lips. the ravenette’s dark irises can’t help but linger on the blonde,]  must there be a reason? or is it that you can’t pinpoint my motives, and that makes you waver on my loyalty towards you?

@holycrave        Keep Yourself Safe

that’s a yes then.. okay. eww. 

@holycrave         ›          you’re my subordinate,  and this is unprofessional.  i won’t answer you.

@medichaos         ›          that’s peculiar.  i don’t recall hearing such things,  but noted.  to answer your question,  we are not dating.  
            
            *   he’s so shy !!   >.<

⁽⠀a shrug is given.⠀⁾  ⠀since..  i don't know,  since i was here i suppose,  the lower ranks points it out? ⠀‘ jeez,  is he that out of touch with all the hearsay? ‘
            
            ༢⠀ noctis...  we know what u are..  LMAOOO

*   in reality he’s smiling ear to ear internally 

yeah,  haha.  i can tell,  you don't look so good.. ⠀⁽⠀the utterance goes on as if murmured,  though it can be distinguished╌  still.⠀⁾ ⠀ ehem（..）pardon me.  that planet named yomi..  if i recall correctly,  some of it's inhabitants are rather immune to anesthetics and they seem to have influences of an  “ aeon “  which i believe could be useful.

@medichaos          ›          [  the list seemed endless,  but noctis made a mental note of what vitale may need.  if it meant for soleil’s recovery,  then the executioner would indulge the doctor in their every whim.  ]    a test subject?  and who would you suggest,  i’m assuming that you must have thoroughly searched for someone.  i’ll do my best to fulfill those requests,  but i’ve been quite  ..busy.

oh,  i see,  noted. ⠀‘ .. so strict. ‘  ⠀⁽⠀a mental thought,  the doctor listens attentively,  and nods out of acknowledgment.⠀⁾ ⠀ i have an issue with the lack of supplies,  and workers─i must admit that a lot of those anesthetics that'll be used for the next planet is difficult to tend to alone.  not to mention,  i need..  someone.  as a test subject,  for his grace's medication.

@vermitic         ›         i was hoping we could come to an agreement,  a truce;  for better words.  i need that doctor you know of,  lian yue?  his whereabouts.    [  noctis muses.  smooth,  confident steps as he walks further into ryujin’s company.  ]     if you do that,  i promise i’ll leave that little rodent who’s been trying to weave his way into our corporation lately as well.  ^^   how does that sound?

this is my company.  this isn't just  “any“  place for you to waltz into. ⠀⁽⠀clarified the emanator,  lips pressed into a thin line before speaking once more.⠀⁾ ⠀why are you here?

@vermitic         ›          bold?  no,  perhaps it’s you who is too overconfident.    [  a pause,  ]    i go where i please,  there is no sign saying which i can’t enter a public space.  no?

@musicalxmisery   * tyytyyy!!

@holylies         ›          even i don’t answer to that.  i’m sorry,  your grace.    [  noctis replies,  but it pained him to not be able to offer something more of value to soleil.  an answer that had more substance than merely saying ‘i don’t know’ essentially.  brows furrow,  ]    but for me to have to see you bear this all alone.  it pains me more than you can know,  so much so that if it means to take all of this from you,  i would do so in a heart beat.    [  a gloved hand goes to undo the knots in the other’s blonde’s hair,  lips pressed together briefly.  ]    it’s the truth,  soleil.  i would do anything for you even if it came at the expense of myself.

then,  why must i endure this? ⠀ ⁽⠀soleil lifts his head,  meeting the onyx orifices.  seeking answers into those dark pools,  desperate.⠀⁾ ⠀ ..no,  it is mine to bear alone.  this is what i must go through.  you needn't wish it to befall upon your shoulders,  i would despise to see you partake on behalf of my turmoil. ⠀ ⁽⠀fingers clenched further into the pallid fabric,  though unseen by gloves,  one's knuckles began to whiten from the sheer grip itself.⠀⁾  ⠀.. don't say that. ⠀ ⁽⠀it saddens him,  for noctis to even  ‘hope‘  to share the burden..  just so it alleviates his excellency's wellbeing.⠀⁾

@holylies          ›          i do not believe that.  out of everyone,  i believe that you should suffer the least.  i hope that one day i may share a part of this burden with you,  soleil.    [  it’s uttered as though it were a promise,  noctis replies without falter.  he uses a hand to delicately swipe away the blonde tresses masking his face,  watching as sweat collects at the top of soleil’s forehead.  ]    we will find a solution,  but i will tell them to quicken the process and to arrive earlier than we planned to the planet.

                               don't worry, i'll give you mine in case it stops working  * kouen winks , a cheesy grin placed onto his features , head tilted to the side before he ponders .. why exactly had he come to search for him ? *   ah ... ummm ... how do i put this ... well , i found you handsome ! and i wanted to give my gracious compliments ! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)

@chainlinkd           ›             so very frightening.  you should be careful,  i have a frail heart.       [  a small laugh follows afterwards,  ]    how can i help you?

@holylies       ›          i will have that be done immediately.  you have nothing to worry for,  this pain will be brief as they have been the last few times you’ve encountered such troubles with your body.    [  noctis has no issue with maintaining such a heavily weighted promise,  and it was true that they were able to cure such ailments to the calamity once they were able to secure a solution for the time being.  ]    it should take no longer than a few days for our troops to sort through the planet.  i’m sure we can offer the people a trade that they couldn’t choose to refuse.

there is. the one i despise the most─╴ ⠀[relieving that feeling felt awful, a frown on soleil present. one wouldn't wish to go through that.]⠀ ..the medication provided from the doctors of chaos is most effective, after all, those self–annihilators have found themselves free from the torment of their aeon's darkness.⠀ [a silent huff of his breath, soleil leans into the touch. digits felt probing by the nape. however, the mention of a planet piqued his interests as crimson hues flickers to a sidelong glance.] ⠀yes, that sounds marvelous. send a fleet as soon as possible, once the conditions are confirmed.. we are to visit.

@holylies          ›           there must be an easier way to absolve you from your pain.    [  briefly,  noctis’ eyebrows would knit together.  unable to fathom the other’s discomfort in a body that was not even their own.  the executioner’s hand goes to lightly rub the back of soleil’s neck,  ]    but i’m sure we can find another planet to help your   ..case.  i’ve heard word that there’s one left untouched,  it had escaped our attention while we were travelling the cosmos,  but,  it should do the trick.  will going there help you?
